Background
Description
Dun Ardtreck is a D-shaped fortification (dun) of a type commonly regarded as a prototype broch or "semi-broch". It was built with the straight side of the fort facing the sheer cliffs. It encloses an area of about 13 by 10 metres. It was constructed with a rudimentary hollow-wall. The entrance is particularly well-preserved with door-checks characteristic of brochs. The entrance to a guard cell led off to the right behind the door-checks. Surrounding the dun is an outer wall which runs along much of the edge of the knoll on the landward side.
